battery-status package does not work in 11.10

[Gaston DASSIEU-BLANCHET]

Hi,

In Ubuntu 11.04 I was using battery-status indicator from ppa:iaz/battery-status. This indicator is much better than the default one since it incorporates both battery status and CPU throthling settings (on demand, performance, conservative, etc...) all in one.

Unfortunately, there package for 11.10 (ppa:iaz/battery-status-devel) does not install due to below error:
 battery-status : Depends: python-gnomeapplet but it is not installable

Even if I download the .deb and install manually using dpkg and ignoring dependencies (sudo dpkg --ignore-depends=python-gnomeapplet -i battery-status_0.1.2~bzr32~oneiric1_all.deb), when I try to run it (battery-status --indicator) I get the below error:

ImportError: No module named gnomeapplet

Any chance this can be fixed?

Thanks in advance,

Gaston

Hi,

I had noticed bug 896731, but actually there *exists* an Oneiric package already (ppa:iaz/battery-status-devel), though it does not work.

Anyway, I guess the solution to both bugs is the same, so feel free to merge them :-)

Best regards,
